Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of molecular biology as well as to the field of breeding methods for farm animals, in particular pigs.
  • the invention relates to the use of diagnostic methods derived from the field of molecular biology to be applied in breeding programmes that select animals on production traits that improve their breeding value .
  • breeding programmes By selecting animals on their breeding value calculated mainly from phenotypic measurements of production traits, breeding has greatly improved the genotype for production traits of livestock animals.
  • breeding programmes have selected for phenotypic characteristics of animals.
  • more recently selection for genotypic characteristics that are associated with improved production traits have gained interest in the field. Selection for phenotypic characteristics entails mainly selection of the respective animal, offspring or siblings or other relatives of the animals to be selected whereas selection of specific genotypic characteristics allows for earlier and specific detection of animals of interest.
  • One of the former methods is a marker assisted selection wherein polymorphisms in markers identified in a random manner are associated with production traits. For instance, meat production is closely linked to embryonic muscle formation, and, consecutively, to the distribution of muscle cells and fat cells. Biologically, production is concentrated in defined tissues of the animal, e.g. muscle tissue for lean meat production. In breeding programmes for optimising porcine lean meat production, various levels of selection pressure have been applied to different tissues (i.e. muscle, fat and bone) . However, when selecting for lean meat, and thus the absence of fat, one may lose certain traits that are wanted after all, i.e. traits that are associated with taste and thus with the consumers perception of the final product.
  • Fatty acid binding proteins are small intracellular proteins involved in fatty acid transport from the membrane to the sites of ⁇ oxidation and/or triacylglycerol or phospholipid synthesis (Veerkamp and Maatman, 1995) . Furthermore, FABP ' s modulate the intracellular fatty acid concentration (Veerkamp et al.,1993). Fatty acid metabolism has historically been linked to insuline resistance (Randle, 1963) , and therefore mutations in FABP genes may be associated with changes in cellular insulin resistance or dependency, fatty acid oxydation and fatty acid binding.
  • FABP ' s are members of a family of intracellular lipid binding proteins comprising at least eight structurally distinct types and named after their first tissue from which they were isolated or identified: adipocytes, brain, epidermal cells, heart, intestinal cells, ileal cells, liver and myelin cells.
  • the present invention provides among others an isolated or recombinant pig A-FABP gene specific nucleic acid molecule or pig A-FABP gene specific fragments thereof comprising or hybridising to the nucleotide sequence as shown in figure 1, or its complementary sequence or the RNA equivalents thereof.
  • the locus of this gene is on porcine chromosome 4.
  • the pig A-FABP gene can be assigned to functions in the regulation of intramuscular fat, thereby changing the ratio of fat deposited within the muscle versus fat deposited outside the muscles, i.e. in backfat depots. Since production and deposition of fat is energy consuming and takes away energy for other purposes, such as muscle growth, the regulation of intramuscular fat is correlated to the regulation of growth, and thus body weight and average daily gain and feed efficiency. Since FABP's are involved in fatty acid transport they can influence fatty acid oxidation rates, the metabolism of fatty acid derivatives in the tissue and the fatty acid composition of cells and thus of meat. Furthermore, FABP's may regulate cellular insulin dependency.
  • A-FABP regulates functional differentiation of mammary epithelial cells it is involved in regulating the quantity and composition of the milk available, thus influencing the growth and survival of newborn animals.
  • the present invention further provides a method to generate via recombinant DNA techniques an animal , such as small laboratory animals or farm animals, i.e. a pig, with additional genetic material originating from the pig A-FABP gene. Such animals may than encode wanted alleles of this gene and constitutively or transiently express allelic proteins or fragments thereof that enhance the production or physiological characteristics of those animals.
  • the invention further provides methods to generate proteins or (poly) peptides comprising various allelic proteins or fragments thereof derived from the pig A-FABP gene. Such peptides, or antibodies specifically directed against such peptides, may be used to influence production traits in the live animal, but may also be used in cell- culture systems in vi tro . Such (poly) peptides or proteins, or antibodies specifically directed against these, may also be used in diagnostic test systems to select animals that express wanted forms of allelic proteins or fragments thereof encoded by the pig A-FABP gene.
  • the invention further provides methods localising, identifying or marking genes or alleles or quantitative trait loci, in particular those corresponding to the pig A-FABP gene, in samples, in particular biological samples, cells or tissues, such as but not limited to hair, skin or blood, of farm animals, in particular pigs, by allowing for specific amplification of genomic fragments of those genes or alleles or quantitative trait loci of pigs. Since marker assisted selection of animals is frequently based upon genetic variation that exists within functional genes that influence a production trait directly, i.e.
  • genes such as the pig A- FABP that regulates fatty acid binding one of the methods that the invention provides is a method that identifies or marks loci or genes and that can distinguish between characteristics of alleles of those genes which characteristics serve as markers in selection programmes for animals with specific versions of those genes that are directly linked with improved production traits.
  • the invention further provides a method wherein polymorphic restriction sites within functional genes and thus different alleles of those genes are identified by allowing for specific amplification of genomic fragments of those genes, in particular by allowing for specific amplification of fragments of the A-FABP gene.
  • Amplification methods are well known in the art, the best known being PCR. A short description of the PCR used herein is given in the experimental part. Other primers, enzymes and conditions can of course be applied.
  • a suitable method of identifying wanted alleles and polymorphic sites related thereto is a restriction endonuclease treatment.
  • Suitable restriction enzymes for identifying pig A-FABP alleles are for example found by amplifying and subsequent digesting A- FABP allele fragments of various breeds of pigs. By these methods large numbers of pigs can be rapidly genotyped for studies in which genotypic variation can be associated with growth characteristics and other production or performance traits of pigs. Such production traits are for example body weight (BW) , back fat thickness (BFT) , intramuscular fat (IMF) and drip loss (DRIP) .
  • BW body weight
  • BFT back fat thickness
  • IMF intramuscular fat
  • DRIP drip loss
  • Yet another method for identifying wanted alleles is the detection of polymorphic sites such as microsatellites or CA-repeats found in the A- FABP gene.
  • Various alleles, such as the Al to A9 alleles can in this way be detected.
  • the methods according to the invention can be developed into diagnostic assays or kits by which selection of pigs with alleles of interest can be performed in routine screening protocols employed in breeding programmes. With such protocols better results of selection can be expected when genes responsible for regulation of commercially interesting body tissues can be rapidly identified and controlled.
  • such testing protocols can be used to identify, select and breed farm animals, such as pigs, which have better production traits, such as IMF% or backfat thickness or average daily weight gain or feed efficiency, than the average animal in the population.
  • Better production traits such as BW or daily weight gain will increase the production per year expressed as amount of meat per animal raised.
  • a population of animals with a higher and less variable IMF% will result in a more homogenous product (meat) which is also better appreciated by putative customers because of a better tenderness or taste.
  • selection for higher IMF% may be possible while at the same time selection against fat deposition in other depots, such as backfat, can be performed.
  • One objective in pig breeding programs is the reduction of fat in the carcass to meet the consumers ' demand for lean meat. This reduction is accomplished by selection for reduced back fat thickness. As a result of this selection the intramuscular fat depot, which is positively correlated with taste and meat acceptance (Wood et al . , 1988) may be reduced. However both fat depots are not or only moderately correlated (Hovenier et al . , 1992) indicating that IMF can be treated independently from BFT at least partially.
  • the respective gene was identified, sequenced and chromosomally localised. Moreover, genetic variation within this gene was identified. To establish the role of A-FABP in porcine IMF accretion this genetic variation was studied in a Duroc pig population.
